BIG SHARK SHOUT OUT OCTOBER 15 - 23



It’s time to pull out all the stops for sharks!
During Big Shark Shout Out week, Project AWARE Foundation, volunteer divers and shark supporters around the world will rally to protect sharks before it’s too late. PADI Pros and their student divers form a unique, collective voice that can help change the fate of vulnerable shark species.
Coinciding with Shark Alliance’s fifth annual European Shark Week and Project AWARE’s Give Sharks a Fighting Chance signature campaign – we’re calling on European Union (EU) fisheries ministers and parties to Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) to protect sharks from overexploitation.
What will you do during the Big Shark Shout Out?

1. Collect signatures for two vital petition efforts: the UnFinished Business petition to close loopholes in the EU Finning Ban and the Give Sharks a Chance petition to protect vulnerable shark species worldwide.

2. Teach the new AWARE Shark Conservation Diver Distinctive Specialty course.

3. Fundraise for sharks and create a local wall of support. Be the first of 10 to raise 200 ($, €, £) for shark protection and receive an AWARE shirt!
Organizing for the Big Shark Shout Out is easy with the organizer kit. It has everything you'll need to make your shark support something to shout about
 
NO SHOUT TOO LOUD FOR SHARKS!
